Jurgen Klopp has tipped Joe Gomez for a big season after admitting Ibrahima Konate's injury is a "massive blow" for Liverpool.
After returning to action last summer following surgery on a serious knee problem in November 2020, Gomez made just eight Premier League appearances last term, starting four, which all came in the unfamiliar role at right-back.
Having had the benefit of a full and uninterrupted summer schedule, Klopp is expecting Gomez, who signed a new contract last month, to be a much more influential figure around the squad this coming campaign after revealing his disappointment following the injury to Konate.
